In the end any use of computer technology, no matter how advanced, if limited by the creativity and skill of human programmers. These things only do what they are impliedly instructed to do. The dream of self programing human level machine intelligences seems on one hand more like a nightmare than a dream and on the other hand an unattainable goal. I think A.I.s that are close enough for government work will be developed but they will at best only mimic human intelligence incompletely.
